Posted by: Stacey Shrader Joslin on Nov 26, 2025

Court: TN Court of Criminal Appeals

Attorneys 1: Jessica F. Butler, Assistant Public Defender – Appellant Division, Franklin, Tennessee (on appeal); Jeremy Epperson, Public Defender; and Parker Dixon, Assistant Public Defender, Jackson, Tennessee (at hearing) for the appellant, Brian Armstrong.

Attorneys 2: Jonathan Skrmetti, Attorney General and Reporter; Raymond J. Lepone, Assistant Attorney General; Nicholas W. Spangler, Assistant Attorney General, (at oral argument); Jody S. Pickens, District Attorney General; and Shaun A. Brown, Deputy District Attorney General, for the appellee, State of Tennessee.

Judge(s): CAMPBELL

The Petitioner, Brian Armstrong, appeals the denial of his petition for post-conviction relief, arguing that his trial counsel was ineffective for failing to maintain communication and for failing to file a motion to suppress evidence obtained through the execution of an illegal search warrant. We affirm the denial of post-conviction relief.
